Priced very good for a family, I enjoy the desert bar the best on the strand I must say in ref to buffets, It is sooooo big!

We visited Ryan's on a weeknight recently. It was our second time dining there.

There is a wide variety of food to choose from. Most of the southern staples are there, from seasoned collards to mac and cheese, but the selection is by no means limited to that. There was a nice salad bar, with assorted varieties of lettuce and a decent number of toppings. In addition, they had a carving station with roast beef and ham, and a grilling station featuring steak. And, of course, a dessert bar.

The food is good quality, and was constantly being replenished by friendly staff. The table service was excellent, with dirty plates removed and drinks refilled promptly. During our dinner, the manager came to our table to make sure that we were satisfied with food and service.

Ryan's is not trying to be a gourmet restaurant. But I think that they succeed in what they are trying to be: a family-style, casual buffet with good food. If you go there with that expectation, you will probably like it.

It smelled like rotten food. We had a coupon off so we thought we would try it. They have carpeting around the food bar and there is food ground into the carpet around the bars. It stinks like rotten food and foul sewer smell. I hardly could stand to eat there. Couple that with the fact that our server worked our entire side of the restaurant but Management leaned against the wall and chatted up one of the other servers who looked younger and single. I watched this go on the entire time we were there almost an hour. It convinced me that the entire staff was lazy and dirty from the upper staff down and that was why it stunk so bad there. I will not return

We now live here and we always eat out once or twice a week and we always go to Ryan's alot and love the fresh choices of food, never had a bad experience there.....Friendly staff and always clean building...
